Agreed...I like our chances in that regional.  TCU and Baylor would be formidable (and beatable) opponents.  I don't know enough about USC to have an opinion on them; however, I'd prefer to be the #3 seed and meet TCU first and meet Baylor with their #2 pitcher.

They have a whole paragraph on Dallas Baptist - just for TheEagleman!

Along with the Gamecocks and Tigers, other teams that will land on the wrong side of the bubble are Houston, Arizona, Cal Poly, San Diego State, South Florida and Dallas Baptist. All are talented enough to make strong pushes for regional bids, but all have significant questions to answer. Dallas Baptist should be a very good team with abundant offensive talent, athleticism and a few power arms, but its soft schedule -- with just two three-game series, against Oral Roberts and Texas A&M, against 2008 regional teams -- will keep it from earning its second straight regional bid. The independent Patriots play 37 total games against Binghamton, Siena, Oakland, Central Arkansas, Louisiana-Monroe, Minnesota, Louisiana Tech, Houston Baptist, Northeastern, Utah Valley State, Northern Colorado and Jacksonville. Even winning the vast majority of those games won't salvage DBU's RPI.
